Beer Battered Deep Fried Turkey
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dipping prior to cooking
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. white pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2-1/4 cups cold beer, your choice
- 4-pounds leftover turkey
- Canola oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Pre-heat deep fryer to 375°F.
- In a small bow, combine all-purpose flour, rice flour salt and pepper; mix thoroughly.
- Add the egg and beer; whisk together until the liquid is incorporated; small lumps in the batter are to be expected.
- Slice leftover roasted turkey into thick slices.
- Dip the pieces into all-purpose flour, then into the batter and carefully drop into pre-heated canola oil filled deep fryer.
- Fry for a few minutes, just until golden brown on both sides.
- Drain on a wire rack placed over a cookie sheet; serve immediately.
Notes
If you have to fry the turkey in more than one batch at a time, hold the fried pieces in a 200°F oven, on the draining rack, to provide air circulation all the way around the fried turkey pieces to prevent from getting soggy.
